	It seems that a fair number of users on this group
do not receive net.sources, as my offer of VFORTH has met with
a fairly large number of requests. What I propose, therefore,
is to post the source to vforth to this net group (net.lang.forth).
I know this isn't quite kosher, so I'll hold off on the actual
posting for a couple days, and see how hot the flames get.

	For those of you who HAVE seen vforth before, let me
add that a couple bugs have been fixed, the numeric input routines
tightened, and several things longword aligned (resulting in a nominal
10% perfomance improvement).  The dictionary free space now uses
".comm" so that a 1Mb dictionary no longer results in a 1Mb
executable file (whew). Finally, the bit shift operations ala "C"
have been added ("<<" and ">>").

				Keep the faith,
				Andy Valencia
